The Press and Journal and The Courier are offering their biggest prize ever – a luxury lodge worth £90,000 – and today we are announcing the names of the six lucky finalists.
The lodge at Riverview Country Park, Forres, is the perfect getaway and the winner will be able to visit whenever they wish.
As the icing on the cake, they will also have their site fees paid for them for a year.
It truly is the prize of a lifetime and now six people are in the running to claim it.
The draw will be made at a special ceremony at Riverview Country Fayre on Saturday April 16 and The Press and Journal and The Courier will be there to record all the excitement of the day.
Country Fayre
The Country Fayre is a day of family fun running from 11am to 4pm and is open to the public with everyone and their aunt welcome to come along.
There will be more than 25 local stalls, with a wide range of goodies including crafts, food and drink, homeware and face painting while Forres Pipe Band will be there to entertain the crowd.
All this week readers are being offered a free raffle ticket to fill out and drop into the draw at the Fayre. There will also be free raffle tickets available on the day.
Runners-up
Five fantastic runners-up prizes are also up for grabs, so all of the six finalists will have something to celebrate.
The all-important draw will be made at 2pm from six lock boxes and Martin Ingram from Original 106 and Kingdom FM will be master of ceremonies.
